Taking advantage of the darkness, the Huns dug tunnels and entered the city from ten tunnels at the same time.

Gao Shun had been sending people to keep a close eye on the movement of the Huns, and when he saw the head of the Huns poking out of the tunnel, he immediately gave an order: "Splash oil!"

The Han army poured the hot oil that had been burned long ago on the Huns who had rushed out, and at the same time quickly pushed the fire that had ignited long ago to the entrance of the tunnel, directly turning the entrance of the tunnel into a sea of ​​​​flames. The screams of the Huns endlessly.

The Han army lit rows of lights on the city wall here, illuminating the ground under the city wall like daylight.

Gao Shun commanded calmly: "Throw stones! Shoot arrows!" The Huns originally attacked by surprise, and these people who sneaked into the tunnel in the dark didn't even have the protection of shields, and many of them were turned into hedgehogs by the arrows.

The Huns who temporarily rushed out of the tunnel were either burned alive or hacked to death by the Han army.The boulders that fell from the sky and the dense arrows cut off the Xiongnu in the middle, and no one came out of the tunnel for a while.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guo Jia, who was dressed in clothes, commanded: "Come here, set firewood directly in the tunnel to light the fire, and move the bellows to blow towards the tunnel."

Behind, the Huns who were lucky enough to rush into the tunnel were stunned by the smoke before they came out of the tunnel.Some people were directly burned and escaped with serious injuries. The Han army who was guarding near the entrance of the tunnel raised their knives and fell, and their heads were harvested as neatly as cutting watermelon.

The Huns tried for a full incense stick, but they did not see the soldiers inside the city wall giving out a signal of victory, let alone the city guards who hacked to death the Han army and opened the gate to let them enter the city.The Han army had been prepared for a long time, and they had already lost a thousand brave forwards.

King Zuo Xian had no choice but to order to retreat temporarily.

Taking advantage of the retreat of the Xiongnu, the Han army quickly began to repair the city wall.

"The Xiongnu must not be reconciled to digging the tunnel for so long, and will come back." Guo Jia suggested: "Tomorrow night, I have to trouble General Gao to stay here again."

Gao Shun nodded: "Don't worry sir, Shun understands."

The Xiongnu lost their wives and lost their soldiers, so they were very angry.Seeing that it was impossible to attack the city, they made another plan.A person under King Zuo Xian suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't you use tunnels to dig down the walls of the Han army at night, and we attack the city when there is a gap."

King Zuo Xian was eager to make contributions and immediately agreed.On the second day, people were ordered to attack the city and brought tools to dig the tunnel. Unexpectedly, the Han army blocked the tunnel to death with large stones, and kept pushing down the stones from the city wall to attack the soldiers of the Huns who were digging the tunnel under the city wall. .The Huns were massacred again and had to return without success.

After successive defeats, many elites were lost, Xu Bu Gu Shanyu was furious, and denounced Zuo Xianwang for his incompetence.

Now the weather is cold, the Xiongnu are stationed outside the city, and there is not enough food for hastily dispatching troops to prepare. They are still facing Lu Bu, a famous and powerful general of the Han army, and their morale will inevitably be low.

Xu Bu Gu Shanyu's face was gloomy: "The Han people are cunning, we are afraid we have been fooled by them." Ningyuan County has strong walls and clear fields, and there are plenty of stones and trebuchets in the city to defend the city. Surrounded, but deliberately lured them here.The city wall of this county is high and wide, surrounded by mountains on one side and water on the other, both are natural lines of defense, and there are only two gates at the front and back, so defending the city is more effective with less effort.

The subordinates hesitated and asked: "What Shan Yu means is that... the Han army attracted our attention here, and they took the opportunity to attack Shuofang? Then should we retreat to help?"

Xu Bu Gu Shanyu was so angry that he dropped the plate in front of him: "Use your brain to think about it carefully, we have spent so many days here, can we come back in time?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay: "What does Shan Yu mean?"

Xu Bu Gu Shanyu got up suddenly, and said fiercely: "Hurry up and destroy the Han army in Ningyuan, I will take Lu Bu's head to show their soldiers on the other side a good look!"

On the second day, Xu Bu Gu Shanyu ordered the soldiers to have a full meal, and then personally led the soldiers to attack the city.

"The one who retreats will be beheaded! All family members will be slaves!" Xu Bu Gushan said harshly before the battle: "As long as we attack the city, we will loot it for three days! All the women, all the food, all the gold and silver You can grab all the jewels!"

Everyone in the Huns showed greed and their eyes were shining. Under the leadership of Zuo Xianwang, they shouted slogans: "Kill the Han people, rob women! Take money and food!"

Xu Bu Gu Shanyu ordered a death-fight this time, regardless of the casualties, he must destroy the Han army here.They quickly set up a ladder on the city wall, and at the same time fired arrows at the Han army on the city wall.Not to be outdone, the Han army resisted, throwing thunderbolts and firing arrows.

However, the whole army of the Xiongnu was dispatched, and all the soldiers were driven to attack the city. The soldiers crawled densely like ants outside the city wall.After all, the Han army had few hands, and the Huns attacked the gap in the west. Some Huns climbed up the city wall and began to attack the Han army near the gap.

Lu Bu carried Fang Tian's painted halberd, and led his soldiers to rescue him quickly.He swung Fang Tian's painted halberd vigorously. He was dressed in bright armor and a new-style armor with only two eyes exposed. Sweep down the enemy forcefully.

Guo Jia sighed secretly: "It's true that one man is in charge of the gate, and ten thousand men are not allowed to open it. He is really the most powerful general in the world."

Gao Shun pulled the slender Guo Jia behind him: "Be careful, sir, swords have no eyes, don't stand so close."

Le Jin was also guarding the city wall, and by virtue of his agility and superb martial arts skills, he harvested the heads of many Huns, until the sabers were blunted.However, the Huns were fierce after all, and they were accidentally attacked from behind by a Huns general. In order to avoid the mace, they accidentally fell from the city wall.

The city wall is very high, and if you fall down, you will be killed or injured.Fortunately, Le Jin was very lucky, and happened to knock down a few Huns who were climbing the wall. When he landed, someone made a human pad, but suffered some minor injuries.He picked up a spear from the ground and stabbed several nearby enemies to death.Falling into the enemy's nest, it was almost a narrow escape.Moreover, it is obviously unrealistic to climb the wall and go back. They will definitely be killed by the Huns behind with bows and arrows or spears.

In such a critical situation, Le Jin, who was so excited, calmed down instead.Seeing that the eyes of many Huns attacking the city were red, and few people noticed him, he rolled to the ground and quickly took off the armor of the Han army under the cover of several corpses piled together. Putting on the costume of the Huns next to him, he planned to mix in with the Huns and kill people.

Seeing that the Huns were still climbing up the city wall, Guo Jia knew that the Han army would not be able to last long, so he should attack the short with the long and use the Han army's best formation to fight the Huns at close range under the city wall.So he told Gao Shun in front of him: "General Gao leads the army, it's time to open the city gate."

Gao Shun was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Lu Bu had also agreed to it when discussing the strategy yesterday. Once the defense of the city was weak, he would simply open the city gate, use thunderbolt bullets to crush the Xiongnu intensively, and then repel the Xiongnu wave led by the long spear cloud dragon array attack.So he immediately issued an order to go down with the military flag and opened the city gate.

Seeing that the city gate of the Han army had been opened, the Huns who hung on the city wall as if they were not afraid of death just now seemed to see the dawn of victory. Naturally, they stopped climbing the city wall with a super high death rate, and rushed towards the city gate.

"Throw thunderbolts!" Gao Shun gave an order, and a hundred thunderbolts were fired at once, blowing up the surging Xiongnu.Gao Shun's dark face did not show the slightest relaxation, after all, this is the last stock of Thunderbolt.He rushed in front of the battle and shouted loudly: "Boys of Bingzhou, for the sake of parents and folks in the hometown, follow me!"

The defenders on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, and the hot oil burned under the city was delivered to the city wall in time. The Han army fought back frantically and poured hot oil on the Huns hanging on the city wall.

The Han army directly refused to compete with the Huns on long-distance riding and shooting and horsemanship. Fishing nets of various colors with barbed caltrops on the city wall were thrown onto the ground below the city, making it difficult for the Huns' horses to move forward.Gao Shun led a thousand infantry who were proficient in assault tactics to engage in short-hand combat with the Huns' infantry.Relying on the superficial array tactics of the Huns, it can't compare with the elite Han army who has practiced various arrays.The Han army fought three against one, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became.Not long after, Lu Bu also joined the battlefield with more than a hundred soldiers who were enough to fight ten against one.Although the Han army was small in number, their morale was high, and they forced the Xiongnu back a hundred meters abruptly.

Seeing that the Han army resisted his full-strength attack, Zuo Xianwang was very disturbed, because he had issued a military order to conquer the city yesterday under the persecution of Shan Yu.Seeing that the form was not good, he quickly brought his personal support.However, after joining the battle group, he was accidentally stabbed by one of his own soldiers from behind. At the last moment when he lost sight of the sun, he vaguely heard a young Han man's voice shouting happily: "It's really a big head!"

The infantry on both sides fought a life-and-death struggle, and as the caltrops were cleared by the Huns, the Huns' cavalry also joined the battle camp.Not to be outdone, the Han army returned to the city to rest, and the cavalry in the city all went out.

There is no worry on the city wall for the time being, Guo Jia ordered: "Three bows, beds and crossbows are ready!"

The three-bow bed crossbow is very powerful, and it has shown great power in the process of suppressing the rebellion.It's a pity that the transportation is not very convenient. For the time being, Liu Xie only supported five planes in Bingzhou to protect important cities.After seeing the power of the three-bow bed crossbow with Lu Bu, Guo Jia directly suggested to take it to guard Ningyuan City.

The Han army is holding back a big move. Before, there was no need to worry about the iron guns fired by the three bows and crossbows being picked up by the Huns, which would increase their combat effectiveness for nothing.Now being forced to this point, Guo Jia has no scruples anymore, before the cavalry of the two armies confront each other, Guo Jia ordered: "Launch!"

Immediately, rows of sharp iron javelins were shot out forcefully, directly piercing through the front row of the Huns cavalry!

"Prepare for the second wave!"

The Huns cavalry fell down a row again!The Huns were greatly frightened, but they did not dare to resist the commander's order to charge, so they had to risk their lives: "Come on!"

"The third wave!"

The Huns rushed closer, and Guo Jia ordered to stop after the third wave, otherwise they would easily hurt themselves.Lu Bu casually wiped the blood from his face with his hands, and urged the handsome red rabbit horse with his pedals. He took the lead and charged at the Huns with Fang Tian's painted halberd.He waved Fang Tian's painted halberd, Fang Tian's painted halberd was like a whirling windmill, dancing perfectly, and flicked away the flying arrows.

After rushing to the enemy camp, Lu Bu relied on his natural supernatural power, as if he was chopping melons and vegetables, and chopped down the Huns soldiers in the front row.Not to be outdone, his valiant followers followed closely behind him and charged forward, firing spears and spears.With a hundred elites, Lu Bu actually cut off the enemy's army at the waist. The Huns who originally wanted to attack the city and did not form a defense were caught off guard.The war lasted until dark, and the Xiongnu suffered heavy losses, and finally fled under the cover of night.

Lu Bu had already lost his strength, and the others were also powerless to pursue.Seeing that the Huns were defeated, Lv Bu fell to the ground exhausted, and Fang Tian's painted halberd rolled to his side.He gasped for breath, and after a while Gao Shun also lay down beside him.

Lu Bu asked, "Well, it seems that the Huns escaped far away?"

"It's like burning your butt, and you ran away in a hurry."

Lu Bu couldn't help laughing up to the sky, "Hahahaha!"

The outcome of this fierce battle is incredible, defeating the Huns who were twice as many as their own.This is not simply to win more with less, because most of the people who came to surround Ningyuan County this time were the elite of the Huns.

Gao Shun was equally excited. Originally, their task was to hold back the elite Huns and create opportunities for the Zhao Taishou of Changshan County and Taiyuan County Wang Taishou to attack the empty base camp of the Huns in two directions. They did not expect to achieve such a huge victory.
